                    the date of the termination of his employment or (ii) the
                    date the Option would otherwise expire;

               (7)  any amounts earned, accrued or owing to the Executive but
                    not yet paid under Section 7, 8, 9 or 10 above; and

               (8)  such other or additional benefits, if any, as are provided

                    Company.

           (e)  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON.
The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason at the end of the
10-day period following the date that the Executive notifies the Company in
writing in accordance with Section 23 below that he intends to terminate his
employment for Good Reason (the "Notification Date"), such notice to state in
detail the particular event that constitutes Good Reason.  The Company shall
have reasonable opportunity to cure the event constituting Good Reason;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company has not cured such event to the
reasonable satisfaction of Executive (and the Executive has not waived the
Company's failure to cure) during the 10-day period following the Notification
Date (the "Curing Period"), the Executive may terminate his employment following
the end of the Curing Period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Executive may not
terminate his employment for Good Reason after the end of the 30-day period
following the date the event constituting Good Reason first occurs.  Upon a
termination by the Executive of his employment for Good Reason, the


                                          8

Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in
Section 11(d) above.

           (f)  VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE WITHOUT
GOOD REASON.  If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment, other than
a termination of employment due to death, Disability or retirement, the
Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in
Section 11(c) above.  A termination of the Executive's employment under this
Section 11(f) shall be effective upon 90 days prior written notice to the
Company and shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

           (g)  NONRENEWAL OF AGREEMENT BY THE COMPANY OR THE EXECUTIVE.  In
the event that the Company or the Executive does not renew the Term of
Employment in accordance with Section 2 above, the Executive shall be entitled
to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 11(c) above, and the
date on which the Term of Employment ends shall be deemed to be the date of the
termination of the Executive's employment by the Company for Cause.

      12.  CONFIDENTIALITY: ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS.

           (a)  During the Term of Employment and thereafter, the Executive
shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any trade secret or proprietary or
confidential information of the Company, including such trade secret or
proprietary or confidential information of any customer or other entity to which
the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which he
acquires during the Term of Employment, including but not limited to records
kept in the ordinary course of business, except (i) as such disclosure or use
may be required or appropriate in connection with his work as an employee of the
Company, (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental
agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any
administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent
jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such
information, or (iii) as to such confidential information that becomes generally
known to the public or trade without violation of this Section 12(a).

           (b)  The Executive hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the
Company all of his right, title and interest in and to all inventions,
discoveries, improvements and copyrightable subject matter (the "rights") which
during the Term of Employment are made or conceived by him, alone or with
others, and which are within or arise out of any general field of the Company's
business or arise out of any work he performs or information he receives
regarding the business of the Company while employed by the Company.  The
Executive shall fully disclose to the Company as promptly as available all
information known or possessed by him concerning the rights referred to in the
preceding sentence, and upon request by the Company and without any further
remuneration in any form to him by the Company, but at the expense of the
Company, execute all applications for patents and for copyright registration,
assignments thereof and other instruments and do all things which the Company
may deem necessary to vest and maintain in it the entire right, title and
interest in and to all such rights.

      13.  NONCOMPETITION; NONSOLICITATION.

           (a)  The Executive covenants and agrees that for a period commencing
on the Effective Date and ending on the end of the 12-month period following the
end of the Term of Employment, he shall not at any time, without the prior
written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, engage in a Competitive
Activity.

<PAGE>

           (b)  The Executive covenants and agrees that for a period commencing
on the Effective Date and ending on the end of the 12-month period following the
end of the Term of Employment, he shall not at any time, directly or indirectly,
solicit (i) any client or customer of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect
to a Competitive Activity or (ii) any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary
for the purpose of causing such employee to terminate his or her employment with
the Company or such Subsidiary.

           (c)  The Parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 13(a) and/or Section 13(b) above, the Company shall
not have an adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, in the event of any breach or
threatened breach of Section 13(a) and/or Section 13(b) above, the Company shall
be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to
restrain the Executive and any business, firm, partnership, individual,
corporation or entity participating in the breach or threatened breach from the
violation of the provisions of Section 13(a) and/or Section 13(b) above.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available at law or in equity for breach or
threatened breach of Section 13(a) and/or Section 13(b) above, including the
recovery of damages.

      14.  ASSIGNABILITY; BINDING NATURE.

           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of the Executive)
and assigns.  No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may
be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or obligations
may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which
the Company is not the continuing entity, or the sale or liquidation of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities,
obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either
contractually or as a matter of law.

      15.  REPRESENTATION.

           The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and
empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and
any other person, firm or organization.  The Executive represents and warrants
that no agreement exists between him and any other person, firm or organization
that would be violated by the performance of his obligations under this
Agreement.

      16.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

           This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement
between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings,
whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect thereto.

      17.  AMENDMENT OR WAIVER.

           No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment
is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and an authorized officer of
the Company.  No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any
condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other
Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision
at the same or any prior or subsequent time.


                                          10

Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized
officer of the Company, as the case may be.

      18.  SEVERABILITY.

           In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall
be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and
shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      19.  SURVIVORSHIP.

           The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall
survive any termination of the Executive's employment to the extent necessary to
the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

      20.  BENEFICIARIES/REFERENCES.

           The Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any
applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive
any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following the Executive's death by
giving the Company written notice thereof.  In the event of the Executive's
death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this
Agreement to the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his
beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

      21.  GOVERNING LAW/JURISDICTION.

           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without reference to
principles of conflict of laws.

      22.  RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

           Any disputes arising under or in connection with the Agreement may,
at the election of the Executive or the Company, be resolved by binding
arbitration, to be held in New York City in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the American Arbitration Association.  If arbitration is elected,
the Executive and the Company shall mutually select the arbitrator.  If the
Executive and the Company cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator, each
Party shall select an arbitrator and the 2 arbitrators shall select a third
arbitrator, and the 3 arbitrators shall form an arbitration panel which shall
resolve the dispute by majority vote.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator or arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.  Costs of the arbitrator or arbitrators and other similar costs in
connection with an arbitration shall be paid by the Party that does not prevail
at such arbitration.

      23.  NOTICES.
